It’s been on the air for well over a decade, so how in the world does Survivor manage to keep throwing in new twists and turns? Tonight, fans experience yet another first, as the spouses of Survivor: Blood Vs Water duke it out. How will lovebirds John and Candice Cody perform under pressure?

We’re anxiously awaiting tonight’s episode of Survivor, when spouses will be mercilessly pitted against one another. Three castaways are charged with the task of building a three-dimensional puzzle…and two of them just so happen to be John and Candice Cody!

In a preview for the episode, Jeff Probst reveals that this is the “first time that has ever happened.” And it’s true — although spouses have technically been competing against each other all season, they’ve not yet had to face this kind of drama!

Candice says that she and John always recognized the possibility of a hardcore face off, which is why they made a point of agreeing ”to both fight our hardest no matter what happened.” Of course, that’s easier said than done, particularly when the person you’re “fighting your hardest” against happens to be your spouse.

According to Candice, keeping this promise became all the more difficult when John “kept trying to look at me and smile and encourage me leading up to the duel, but the more support he offered, the harder it was for me to put ice in my veins and focus solely on the task at hand.”

Who do you think will emerge victorious during tonight’s Survivor: Blood Vs Water showdown? Sound off in the comments section below!
